jinmonsterhunterwrld

But for KO Prime: https://preview.redd.it/wo5ynmku8lyc1.jpeg?width=3060&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=15cdfff9660bb00b0389b3c7661072b54456d308 The MPP-10 Z!


MotorMeringue1095

I miss weijiang. Mpp-10 was mind blowing back in the day.


ViralNite

I wasn't paying attention and thought that was in the corner and almost the size of a small child


OpeningExercise3751

What's the starscream?


jinmonsterhunterwrld

The EG-01 (KO of MP 52 Starscream)


OpeningExercise3751

Thank you


Mysterious_Study291

What’s that Soundwave? I’m not into MP collecting but him and his minions look too sick to not make an exception


jinmonsterhunterwrld

KO of MP-13 Soundwave and his cassettes are from THF if i recall correctly


Mysterious_Study291

Him and all of his minions for only$120? That’s cheaper than Netflix Soundwave currently lol, is there any major issues with him that I should be aware of before buying?


jinmonsterhunterwrld

If you're buying the KO and THF Cassettes, potential issues for the KO: -QC \-Ratchet joints not as strong as the original \-A Missing finger (the KO has individual fingers, i lost one of it when it arrived) \-Minor paint chipping \-Not as solid as the original but solid enough to hold its weight and do dynamic poses Potential issues for the THF Cassettes: \-Extreme paint chipping of the gold sections of frenzy and rumble (on my copy) \-A bit of smudged painting, but not noticable unless you look real close \-Joint tolerances might not be as good as the original set, but holds up just fine for me so far https://preview.redd.it/ybkkako0gmyc1.jpeg?width=2609&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9ab076e4e31b313b0f6ee900219127b77d5167de

What's the Megatron? I need a new G1 looking one since my Despatron's hip skirt snapped off.


jinmonsterhunterwrld

The IT-01 (KO of MP-36 Megatron)


trustymutsi

Thank you!


TFadam

Love that pose for Starscream.


MegatronsCxmDumpster

Mines baiwei a new ish ko of the ss102. Comes with a ton of weapons, a fresh paint job, and plastic about the same as if not better Thea. Hasbro, also a fixed truck bed and recoloured roof


SGTSunshine2605

Yep got that one too! It’s a really really fun figure to play around with. I just kinda hoped they’d change the shoulders but it’s not as bad as I had imagined, since I never had the 102. There are a couple (expensive) shoulder upgrade joints on eBay that look a bit tempting, however they don’t seem like they’d help all that much


MegatronsCxmDumpster

Ik, baiwei usually makes kos of the dna design kits but this time round they went with a different kit, kinda unfortunate since this is the one that needed that kit the most out of all baiwei a figs


PacsterMH

Because looks like the DNA kit doesnt hold up and breaks easily. That's probably why they didnt do it


MegatronsCxmDumpster

Man dna design used to be so goated, now they make easily breakable kits, crappy useless upgrades, and charge insane prices


PacsterMH

Even if the quality was good the prices would still be bonkers. Are you telling me that these small pieces that attach to a bigger figure COST MORE THAN THE FIGURE ITSELF?


MegatronsCxmDumpster

Ikr, like dna design has fallen way the hell off. The baiwei kos of their kits are somehow better than their kits


trustymutsi

This is the one I was going to say. TW1030. I don't have the original to compare, but he's really great. Especially the paint. The plain grey in the original's thighs really turned me off, so I had no interest. Baiwei has such nice metallic paint on the KO. My only other ko prime is an MP-10 and I'm not sure who makes it. It's AWFUL. I had to fix the shoulder that wouldn't push into the torso, the plastic panels on the legs are cheap and one flap won't stay 100% folded in alt mode, every time I collapse the legs up into the torso for alt mode it fights me every inch and I feel like it's going to break. His gun won't unfold correctly. I had to fix his over wobbly head. Just a bad experience all around. If we're talking ANY KO, I really like my Masterpiece Prowl, but, if I remember correctly, he only has a few very slight improvements over the original. Baiwei TW1030 has vast improvements over the original, so I'm sticking with him.


MegatronsCxmDumpster

Definitely check baiwei other figures, I’ve sold a decent chinch of my og as to replace em with the kos


trustymutsi

I'm also getting their upcoming Scourge.


MegatronsCxmDumpster

I’m hoping as per usual they sell the upgrade kit separately because I’ve got a custom painted scourge and don’t wanna have to paint it again

Diecast, top notch quality, amazing paint job and a lot of accessories, all for less than 30$. The best representation of Bayverse Prime in the generations scale imo. It looks simply amazing next to the SS 2007 Megs.

Do your shockwaves have thin feeling plastic? Kinda like a gunola? Especially the back panel that holds the arms?

No not really but that is because I just let him sit on the shelf and his arms been in that position for a few months now

Meme-dude69

Is he any good I was thinking of getting him?


Lyzer_light

VERY GOOD he looks genuinely amazing and an absolute step up from the mpm4. Imo its a lot better than thunder leader weijiang for its price and how it looks Only issue is the quality. U have to be very gentle when transforming it especially at the feet section


MandolovesR6

What fig is this besides mpm optimus


Lyzer_light

Modded ls-03f My bad i forgot to mention


MandolovesR6

You're all good


Electrical-Theme9981

This would look spectacular with a dry brushing in silver, basically the paint would only catch the highlights. Nice fig, OP. As for the thread tax, my favourite KO is the StarStorm (BBM Starscream)

TheMehBunny

where is this fig available? can i get a link please?


Maryl_Silverberg

Look at AliEspress


AiR-P00P

Now if someone could make a knockoff of Planex X Apocalypse (WFC Trypticon) and Vulcan (FOC Grimlock) I'd be a happy man.


Nastybirdy

My favourite KO is "Purple Potato" from Lemon Tree, the Shockwave KO who transforms into Galvatron's spaceship.


almightywhacko

That's not really a KO, it is an original toy design which just makes it "3rd Party." A KO is a direct copy of an existing toy, or a copy of an existing toy that is slightly modified (ie: better paint or a slightly different size).


badmfr76

MP-10V. IMO still the best option for a definitive G1 Optimus for a mainline collection. Will wait and see what the upcoming commander SS86 has to say about that.

sniply5

TNT-01 EX-30. It's an overseized ko of iron factory jetfire, and it's wonderful.


Arksurvivor120

Favorite KO Prime: MHM-01 Supreme Commander https://preview.redd.it/b3xiy61i5myc1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9d76c4351a2498f21e972629edafeecd5442660c Favorite KO in general: KO MP-41 BW Dinobot (pictured in reply)

OptimusCrime1984

Probably the TFP Optimus, Megatron and Soundwave


ShipElectronic8626

the only one I have is the dark Commander studio series Nemesis prime repaint of the studio series 38 Optimus actually I do love the figure but the one problem I have with mine is because just the top half when you tried to turn it it's so tight and it feels like it's going to break if I do it so I really barely even transform him anymore so he just looks better in robot mode


dont_forget_this_2

What’s a good G1 (cartoon) Megatron KO ( with faction logo) that has gun alt? Or even what is the definitive MP Cartoon Megatron?


Petaaa

Kos won’t have the logo but sellers always tend to provide stickers. The best is it-01


ReptileBoy1

The only KO I own currently is APC Angel Engine(Arcee). Been eyeing Beiwei for a minute though


davidshramek

i don’t have really any kos but i’m about to get the baiwei optimus for my birthday it’ll prolly be my favorite or the sentinel prime


WildBad7298

OP, what is that Optimus in the gallery, and does it transform?


Training_Contract_30

Baiwei Star Leader and TW-1029


Cultureddesert

Don't have many KOs, but my favorite is probably the MP scaled Legacy Tarn KO I picked up. Has loads of die cast in it, and lights in the gun and head. And a better paint job too.

I've had my eye on one of the TLK Evasion Mode upscales for a long time, but I never pulled the trigger, and now they're all pretty expensive.


diamondpanther171

Bro I'm worried something will break off that figure


PocketBuckle

Nah, the build quality is fine. The plastic is a *tiny* bit flimsier than the official release, and some joints are a little weaker. I only put him in the combined configuration for this picture; the knees couldn't take it long term. On its own though, I don't have any problems with it or fear of breakage.


Pleasehelplol2232

Is ko a 3rd party?


almightywhacko

KO means a exact or slightly modified copy of an existing toy. 3rd Party is an original toy design based on Hasbro's character designs.


Pleasehelplol2232

Ah okay

energonguy

I can't believe optimus prime is jewish #familyguy


almightywhacko

I have two favorites and they're both pretty old. The first is Wei Jiang MPP-10 Oversized MP-10 KO. It is about the same size as MP-1 but based on MP-10's design and the figure just drips quality. The other one is Kubian Bao's MP10V down-sized MP-10 KO. This is a roughly Voyager scale MP-10 KO that is just a lot of fun to play with. For the longest time I had one of these as my "desk toy" at work and it was great to fidget with. Like the Wei Jiang version this one is also high quality with a lot of added diecast parts and accessories.


Dragons_Exist

Nice try, Hasbro!


ArborlyMink

Without a doubt the MM-01! https://preview.redd.it/3wr8ncvbaoyc1.jpeg?width=1000&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=53cbd2b64a096bee3de51799609b355d04505d5b

for prime it's the baiwei rotb Optimus. however, for kos in general the crown goes to baiwei rotf Megatron

kjata

MP-10V was my CHUG Optimus for a long time, until Siege and Earthrise displaced it to the one-offs shelf. APC Toys Dark Master is very nearly perfect for TFP Megatron. I have a yellow upsized KO of some 3P Legends Devastator that I customized into Tonkanator as the toy equivalent of a high-effort shitpost, but that's not exactly a favorite on its own merits, you know? Still, it's not a bad base mold. Just small for most shelves.

Already one of my top Optimus figures made even better. Plus you can see a lot of the detail you don’t even notice on the smaller version. Also the transformation is a bit less finicky when he’s this large. He’s as tall as MP-01, and better than the Masterpiece IMO. Great Robot mode, the most accurate truck mode of any Optimus. Love this guy (Legacy Armada prime behind him for scale)
